Grell Magirus Deutz (air cooled diesel)

Somewhere I also have a German horse drawn fire pumper, with horse.

That would be the steam pumper....that was not part of the original "Reader's Digest" giveaways-cum-collectibles group of the eight you showed. Grell/High Speed also made some other European/German fire engines....

Here's a "Limosine" fire engine by Grell:


And the other side details:


Not sure exactly what the relationship is between Grell and High Speed, but both seem to be credited as if one company/mfr. Here's another that was identified as Grell, but is of an east German (or generally "Eastern bloc") aerial:

The vehicle mfr is "G5", an eastern bloc (behind the "iron curtain") automobile maker.

Another view:




And there was this 'convertible' or open-cab ladder/hose wagon, also based on a G5 chassis:


Still digging thru photos to see if I have the steam pumper....will post if I find it. Think I have a few others too, but they're mostly passenger cars in fire liveries.

High Speed made the models for Grell for many years, until they went out of business. Now Grell is contracting other companies like Welly, Maisto and Worlein.

Just an observation but it appears Grell / High Speed had a fascination with "chicken sticks," at least on a lot of the Euro model trucks they covered. Chicken sticks are the tall uprights at the far corners of the front bumpers, and in real life they would have a low power light (typically amber) on them, and they are used for maneuvering in tight places - especially at night.

Ah, thanks juantwo....and I have often wondered what those "chickensticks" were about....never knew they were called that, or had any idea of their purpose. Makes sense, what with all the 14th century "streets" in European cities....
